Yayın Investigating the engagement of private security services as a means of countering Boko Haram in Nigeria(Işık Üniversitesi, 2023-06-23) Bamigboye, Oluwaseyi Mike; Celep, Ödül; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Uluslararası İlişkiler Yüksek Lisans Programı; Işık University, School of Graduate Studies, Master’s Program in International RelationsDespite the efforts of the Nigerian military and other security forces to date, Boko Haram remains a significant threat to the country, and the potential role of private security services in combating this threat is largely unknown. Therefore, it is critical to examine the effectiveness of private security services in combating Boko Haram in Nigeria, focusing on the role of Specialized Tasks, Training, Equipment, and Protection Limited (STTEP) and the perceptions and experiences of key stakeholders. Drawing on a qualitative case study methodology, this study thus fills a critical gap in understanding the security landscape in Nigeria by shedding light on the potential role and impact of private security services in the fight against Boko Haram. The study’s findings underscore the pivotal role that private security companies can play in the fight against Boko Haram in Nigeria. This is especially true for companies that have counterinsurgency experience in Africa and can gain the trust of local communities. In addition, the study highlights the critical importance of cultural sensitivity, commitment to long-term sustainability, respect for human rights, and strategic alliances to achieve lasting stability and effectiveness in counterterrorism. The study then underscores the compelling need for sound regulations, comprehensive training for personnel, and well-designed strategies specifically for private security companies in Nigeria. These findings are intended to guide policymakers, practitioners, and academics involved in security, counterinsurgency, and counterterrorism. Applied to a broader context, these findings also hold significant potential for developing more effective strategies in response to security threats, not only in Nigeria but also in other countries facing similar security challenges, underscoring the wider significance of these findings.Yayın Securitization of the mandatory veil in Iran since 1979(Işık Üniversitesi, 2023-09-04) Jabari, Katayoun; Kayhan Pusane, Özlem; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Uluslararası İlişkiler Yüksek Lisans Programı; Işık University, School of Graduate Studies, Master’s Program in International RelationsThis thesis investigates the process of securitization concerning the mandatory veil in Iran and of politicizing veiling since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979, which eventually led to the securitization act in 2018. Through an examination of the dialogues and accounts provided by ideologicaland political theorists affiliated with the Islamic Republic, this thesis posits that the obligatory practice of veiling in Iran, which initially evokedpolitical sentiments following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, has evolved into a state of securitization as of 2018, particularly in light of the "Girls of Enqelab Street" movement. The act of unveiling, which has taken place nationwide since 2018, prompted the Iranian ruling system to perceive it as animminent threat to its survival, considering that the mandatory veil is one of the fundamental tenets underpinning the ideology of the Islamic Republic. In the wake of Mahsa Amini's demise, global responses prompted a shift in the focus of national security concerns on the part of the Iranian state, transforming them into an international predicament centered around the profound implications arising from the politicization and the subsequent securitization of clothing choices as a societal attribute. Within this thesis, the Copenhagen School framework is employed to examine the realms of political and societal security.
